My question is clear looks like you didn't understand it because you don't want to.
lines like these coming from you is so hilarious
You, sir, in your arguments you say that we shouldn't cheer for the Italian teams simply because the moment they qualify to the last 8 or to the finals, they'll automatically gain lot of money and be stronger than us(in transfer market) which will keep us hopeless in the league. Thats according to you.
On the other hand, you say Milan's Patron Berlusca and Moratti are financially very strong and they'd always finance their teams no matter what. Also according to your argument.
You contradict yourself....and my question here is how on earth do you judge that Milan/Inter/Roma being in Semi's isn't good for us since it won't make a diff because financially they can purchase any player they want??? Like Berlusca offering from his pocket 60m for Ronaldinho...thats only one example i'm giving.
This is a stupid approach and it sad to see you Martin agree with it. I will answer this to Martin.
In this planet earth, there is only one club that doesn't care about the finance, and it is CHELSKI. Because this particular club, doesn't care about what budget it has, or if the club is losing 1 billion dollar per year, simply because their owner is doing this for hobby!
The other big clubs including Real Madrid, Manchester United, Milan and others DO care about their financial budget or these financial bonuses, not because they are desperate for money, but because this is how a football industry works!
Milan and Inter Milan, can buy any of Ronaldinho, Cristian Ronaldo, Messi or any other expensive players if they want to, but they don't need. do they? answer it honestly Martin!
Any sane person that knows a thing or two about football, knows very well that Inter Milan and Milan's squads are in a position to compete for the title for every team out there. And every sane person knows that Moratti and Berlusconi are in position to make their teams competitive domestically and in Europe not because of CL's bonuses, and every sane person in the world can guess that the more money it comes form the CL the stronger these team gets, if the bonuses comes like rain, they won't hesitate to bring the best of the bests out there.
So Martin, I am not contradicting myself here, you are taking it as it is either black or white. Milan without the CL bonuses will stay the Milan that will be respected domestically and abroad, but with the more bonuses they get, they will become unstoppable (Transfer market) in Europe and specially against us. I prefer them to stay the way they are now, not to get any stronger, they are strong enough. While we are the ones who are desperate to get stronger.
Agnelli's are dead, we are the ones who don't get cash from non-football sides, we are the ones who need CL cash simply because Umberto and Gianni are gone, and the ones who replaced them doesn't help us much, but Milan and Inter still have Berlusconi and Moratti.
Just like I mentioned earlier, it's the fanbase and the Financial power that makes the club stronger. We have the fan base (which will help us a lot financially for that, if we will get double amount of Roma's TV coverage, and more than probably Inter's, that's because of the number of fans and viewers we have, plus many other examples out there about fans that help us financially from Italy or abroad), we lack the second, that Inter and Milan have (Rich and spending owners), but we still have large budget than Roma's and others..
If you say Rich industries out there don't need or care about bonuses like 50 Million or more, you know very well that that it ridiculous, but without the bonuses those rich industries will still be rich and competitive, see my point?
